B - ZZ -- The Gainesville Eagle. i W. H. CRAIG, / Editor and Bnsinesa Manager. t at Gain lie. Ga., T>ost-oflice as second-,-lass matter. Hagle Call: Bell Phone No. 56. Thursday, April 23, Will Boss The’Boss. (By The Office Boys) An announcement appeared in the Atlanta Constitution Tuesday morn ing that relieved much anxiety on the part of the office force and a good many of the brethren in Gainesville at large, who, like the Eagle force, had smelled a mouse when “the Boss”—that what we call him in the office —began to make so many pro miscuous trips down to the Gate City. So last week, he began to put extra efforts forth to get off to Atlanta a little sooner than he had been accus tomed to going, saying to the writer that in all probability he would not return until Monday afternoon. Right then we began to smell the mouse. Monday afternoon, sure enough, here he came bouncing in. Well, of course, we have as much curiosity as a woman, but we were scared to ask any fool questions, and Boss didn’t say anything and we didn't say anything, so nothing was said, but much thinking was happening in and around the Eagle office. The printers and the devil could be seen congregating in different cornersexpressing their opinion, and getting the opinion of the other fellow. But the Constitution —thanks to this breezy newspaper—(wonder if it knows how much curiosity it relieves sometimes) —came to the rescue. We would like to say a whole lot good things about Mr. Craig, as we do other people who get married, but he wouldn’t let it pass, he would blue pencil it, that means he would not let us print it. The writer has been in the employ of the Eagle for about eight years now’, and Mr. Craig has been our employer practically all of that time, and we know 7 him mighty well, and it would be superfluous to make any comment on his popularity as an editor and as a business man, of which the city and county are justly proud. Mrs. Craig comes to Gainesville with best wishes from a legion of friends in Atlanta, and hearty con gratulations are extended her and her husband by not only the Eagle force, but by hosts of friends in Gainesville. The entire Eagle establishment ex press their gratification that the boss is to have a boss himself. Green B. Adair Dies of Paralytic Stroke. From Atlanta Constitution: Green B. Adiar, prominent pioneer citizen of Atlanta, died suddenly from a stroke of paralysis Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock at his resi dence, 10(X) Highland avenue. Mr. Adair was recuperating from the only spell of serious illness he had ever had in his life, and which, after a month’s duration, was seemingly at an end. Mr. Adair was born in Talladega county, Alabama, seventy-seven years ago on the plantation of his father. At the age of 21 he enlisted in the Tenth Alabama regiment, Army of Virginia, and fought under General Robert E. Lee in most of the famous battles of the civil war. When the war closed he came to Atlanta with his brother, A. D. Adair, and established one of the first wholesale commission houses in the south under the name of Adair and Bro. Surviving him are his widow 7 , formerly Miss Addie Marsh; three sons, G. B. Adair, Jr., Marsh Adair and Spencer Adair; one brother, A. D. Adair; two sisters, Mrs. Amanda Moore and Mrs. Warren Campbell, and three grand-children. Don't Like to Blow Our own horn, but we feel much in debted to the Alamo Theater for a 36-piece dinner set received Monday night from the Manager, Mr. A. R. Nininger. This being the first time we ever heard of a printer getting anything free, we thought it might make a news item. Thanks. Mr. Nininger. E. S. E. Lula School Commencement. We wish to announce to our friends tiie commencement exercises of the Lee Institute, Lula, Ga., on the evening of April 30th, and May Ist, from 8 till 11 o’clock. There will be many interesting features, such as plays, pantomimes, songs, drills, etc. Everybody is cordially invited. The Teachers. HERE JAD THERE ' --AAD THEA SOME (By Stickem) Don’t ever think you are the whole cheese in politics because your stuff smells rancid. There are some little factional papers that w 7 ould print anything against Georgia’s Senior Senator — excepting the truth, of course! The Hoboes’ Convention met in Chicago. With the present crop of aspirants to the gubernatorial, the Leg-Pullers might have a conven tion in Georgia. Asew 7 of Little Joe’s apostles are trying to pull him out agin Hoke, but, as they claim, he is a brainy little fellow —conceding this, it is a safe bet that he won’t bust up against Hoke for the Senate. Not yet, any way. The city of Gainesville has as much protection from fire as Flowery Branch should have. There is just enough ladder to ascend a chicken house. Scarcely any chemicals and very little hose —and not even a hook and ladder truck. The present equip ment would have been adequate for our needs thirty years ago, but we have grown some lately. How 7 about abolishing the Treas urer’s office in Hall county and sav ing about $2,000 with which to pay school teachers, who are seldom paid until their salaries are a year past due? The banks, we are told, keep the books of the Treasurer. If that be the case, let the bank make bond and receive the money direct from the tax collector. There is not a banker in town who would not be glad of the job. Hall county’s money means something to the bank that handles it. Our Good Roads and School funds would be enlarged nicely with $2,000 additional each year. Brought Here for Interment. The remains of Mr. Jones Gaines of Hartwell, father of Mr. Leon Gaines of this city, were brought here for interment Tuesday, and laid to rest in Alta Vista. The funeral occurred from the First Methodist church Wednesday morning, Revs. Benson and Hamp ton having charge of the funeral services, the Masons performing the burial rites. Mr. Gaines death was caused from a stroke of apoplexy. He was one of the old citizens of Gainesville, moving from here some 17 years ago. It was almost forty-five years ago that Mr. Gaines came to Gainesville with his family and during his resi dence here w 7 as one of our best and most highly respected citizens— quiet and courteous in demeanor and of most exalted integrity. For several years he ran the old “Gaines ville Hotel,” a two-story wooden building that stood where the Princeton is now located. He was porn in Elbert county June 6, 1835; joined the Baptist church when a young man and lived faithfully by its precepts. He served in the armies of the Confed eracy and left an honorable record as a soldier. The remains were brought here by an escort of Masons from Hart well lodge, and he was buried at Alta Vista yesterday by Gainesville lodge with the honors of Masonry. Mr. Gaines was the father of eleven children, six boys and five girls. Six children are now living: Mr. Anna Dunagan, High Springs, Fla.; Mrs. India Bryson, Ringgold; J. E. Gaines, Westminister, S. C.; H. J. Gaines, Jacksonville, ria.; H. L. Gaines, Gainesville; D. J. Gaines, Pendergrass. At St. Paul. Prof. Mershon very ably filled the pulpit at St. Paul Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock hour in the absence of Rev. W. W. Benson, who is con ducting a series of meetings at Flowery Branch this week. The 8 o’clock hour Sunday night was taken up with singing, prayer, and music. those who attended this service are indebted to Mr. Roy Newman and Miss Nellie Newman for a duet. It was enjoyed and thoroughly ap preciated by those present. Also a couple of quartets by Rich ardson brothers Mincey and Smith were good. Those boys know how to sing. And two quartets by Merck, Richards. Mincey, and Thomas were features of the service. Owing to the inclement weather the attendance was not as large as was expected, but the hour was replete with good singing. A QUESTION OF GASTE i V V •J $ R $ By BELLE MANIATES. $ There was no reason, apparently, why these two people, Carter Johns and Cleo Rivers, should not have pur sued their friendship openly and free ly, but they had met in a most uncon ventional way, and there seemed to be a tacit, though unspoken, agreement between them that their meetings should be clandestine. Cleo was naturally interested and excited when she found the house next to theirs, which had been vacant for so long, had been sold and was to be occupied. Her first surreptitious inspection of one member of the new family was from a window overlooking their back yard. Johns, tall and straight, was critic ally examining and testing a stupen dous touring car. Cleo’s heart beat pleasurably. She was a born coquette, and presently, attired in the most delectable of white-embroidered linen gowns, white shoes and chiffon hat, she sauntered into the back garden and began pick ing some flowers. Eventually she gave a sidelong glance. Cleo was not conventional. “Won’t you have a rose?” she asked. With eager haste and thanks he crossed the boundary line to the two gardens. “I think we should be neighborly,” she said, with a little laugh. “I quite agree with you,” he replied, decorously, “and since there is no one present to introduce me, I will do my self the honor of presenting myself. Carter Johns.” “My name is Cleo Rivers,” she said, with naivete. “Did you just move in last night? We heard the place had been sold.” “We are only partly moved,” he said, smiling. “I was anxious to see if my new car came through safely. I think it is in good shape. Do you like to ride?” “Indeed I do!” she cried, enthusias tically. He couldn’t tell afterwards how It really happened, or which one of them first made the suggestion, but, any way, he had an engagement to take her out in the automobile that night He was afraid she would think him presumptuous, but she had seemed pleased, and blushed as she told him she would have to meet him at the stable —that “they” would never con sent She looked very elegant in her dark attire, as she met him that night back of the stable. They quickly sped away from the crowded streets, and when they came to a road that was free, Carter “let her out” in away that was intoxicat ing to Cleo. “He is simply grand!” she thought with a little thrill of recollection when she was safely back in her own room. The next afternoon as she was walk ing through the park, he passed her in his bluish-white car. She bowed, and he lifted his hat courteously and passed on. Before he had gone very far his car stopped, and he got out to investigate the cause. She came on and up to him. “Something wrongT’ she asked, shyly. “Not much out of gear. I win ad just It in a moment May I take you home?” “Certainly,” she replied, joyously. “Can’t we ride out into the coun try?” he asked, entreatlngly. She assented and they,rode on out into the open country, where speed limit laws were not enforced. They came home more slowly and senti mentally. And Cleo in her little white bed that night lay awake to live over and over again the joys of this beautiful and •ecreted time. They met chanendtracted tn many places, and the evening flights in the big car were uninterrupted until ffcte In the shape of a settled rain preclud ed the carrying out of the usual pro gram. “There is a little summer house in our garden,” be said, wistfully, as she came to the rear of the stable that night to tell him how disappointed she was. “Can’t we have a little visit ■- - - In the cozy little arborad house, listening to the soft music of the sum mer rain. Carter’s felings reached a climax. - “pleoj” he murmured, "I love you!” But she had slipped from him and spgd across the lawn. She spent the pight crying over the inditing of a letter which she handed to him over the hedge the next morn ing. _ , "I shouldn’t have let you say that last night. It’s all a mistake. The first time I met you I guessed what you thought—that I was one of the family. I let you think so. lam maid to Miss Lorraine. Forgive me. “CLEO." Presently a district messenger brought a note to Miss Cleo Rivers. “Dearest Cleo: lam the chauffeur! Only the servants have moved in here as yet.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU WANT IT Leading Druggists Will Refund Pur- chase Price of Dodson’s Liver Tone if "¥ ou’re Dissatisfied. Dr. J. B. George may not be willing to guarantiee the safety and reliability of calomel for constipa tion and sluggish liver, but this store will and does stand back of Dodson’s Liyer Tone with an un conditional guarantee to refund the full purchase price (50c.) in stantly without question if you are not satisfied in every way with Liver Tone and its results. If you take calomel, perhaps you will seem to get temporary relief, but it often happens that the after effects are at least unpleasant and sometimes dangerous. Calomel in large doses is a poison and actually deadly to some —perhaps to you— and hence its use means taking chances. With Dodson’s Liver Tone you are always safe. Its reliability is so cer tain that it can be sold with the money-back guarantee. It is a vegetable liquid, pleasant to take, and it cannot harm. It clears up the dulled and aching head and cleans out the clogged system in what many have found to be a wonderful way. Dodson’s Liver Tone will do for you what it has done for thousands—and you run no risk trying it. Ask Dr. J. B. George about Dodson’s and the guarantee.
